"You are stupid, but you are really stupid to me, aren't you? I can trick you." Lu Qian cursed helplessly.
"Master, I know you have great powers! But now, although the salt refinery has been completed and is in production, there is no way to sell five million taels in ten days." Liu Shiqing said helplessly.
"Don't you have national debt? Go ahead and sell it..." Lu Qian said helplessly.
"Five million treasury bonds, including the previous two million. If this is the case, we will need to pay ten million silver taels. Then, where will we get the money?"
Lu Qian smiled helplessly and explained, "We have a salt refinery, which is no better than a gold mine."
Seeing that Liu Shiqing hadn't understood yet, Lu Qian continued to speak.
"I have investigated and estimated conservatively! One stone of fine salt can be sold for at least one hundred taels! According to the salt refinery I designed, it can produce at least one thousand stones per day! The monthly income can reach three million taels! Three! How much is a month? How much is half a year? During this period, can't you collect some taxes or something?"
"One stone of fine salt can be sold for one hundred taels? Isn't this too high?" Liu Shiqing said.
"The target group of fine salt is not ordinary people, but the rich people... For one hundred taels, I am still cheap! Maybe I can sell more!" Lu Qian said.
"Master, I have actually accumulated a lot of fine salt during this period. You were not here some time ago. So I did not make any decisions on pricing and selling." Liu Shiqing said.
"Then why don't you go quickly! Now you can release a small amount! The price of one pound is two taels of silver."
"What is a pound?" Liu Shiqing asked in confusion.
Only then did Lu Qian remember that Wujin's unit explained, "Anyway, one stone of fine salt sells for two hundred taels. You can calculate the details yourself."
"Isn't it one hundred taels? Why two hundred taels again?"
Lu Qian didn't bother to talk to Liu Shiqing, a clumsy person. "You just do what you're told!"
Liu Shiqing nodded repeatedly, thanked Lu Qian profusely, and then went back.
Lu Qiangang wanted to invite some palace ladies to play strip mahjong.
A young eunuch came to report that the maid from Fengxi Palace had come to send a message asking Lu Qian to come.
Lu Qian looked at the time and said,
It's just noon, is Xi Fei already thinking about it?
To be honest, Lu Qian was also obsessed with the former concubine's promiscuous behavior.
She can come and play with anything.
What Lu Qian didn't care about was that he was spotted as soon as he left the Ancestral Temple.
Arrive at Fengxi Palace.
Pushing open Xi Fei's door, Lu Qian said, "You little bastard, you missed me in broad daylight... Look at me today..."
Lu Qian's words suddenly stopped in the middle of his words.
Because the former concubine was not the only one in the palace.
Nie Bing is also here!
Nie Bing nodded slightly to Lu Qian, and then said, "Long time no see, Eunuch Lu..."
Lu Qian smiled awkwardly.
"Eunuch Lu, it's not me who comes to see you. It's Captain Nie who comes to see you for a follow-up visit." Concubine Xi said to Lu Qian with a smirk on her face.
Lu Qian chuckled and said, "Looking at it, the day has indeed come."
"Then stay here." Xi Fei said to Nie Bing.
Nie Bing seemed a little embarrassed and said, "I wonder if Miss, can we arrange a room?"
"Captain Nie, you and I are both women. I also asked Eunuch Lu to treat me. We don't need to be taboo," Xi Fei said with a smile.
Seeing this, Nie Bing had no choice but to agree.
When Nie Bing entered, he took the initiative to get ready.
Lu Qian started treatment.
What made Lu Qian feel helpless was that Concubine Xi looked on with amusement.
Wait until Lu Qian is done.
Concubine Xi said to her with a rosy face, "Eunuch Lu, count the days... I will need treatment at the end of the day."
She gave Lu Qian a very flirtatious look.
Lu Qian also understood
The expert said, "My wife has already reached the third course of treatment... the day has indeed arrived."
Nie Bing changed her clothes and seemed to have no interest in watching the treatment process and said, "Eunuch Lu, I'll wait for you outside."
Watching Nie Bing go out, Concubine Xi grabbed Lu Qian's neck.
A pair of hot acting skills said, "You are a dog slave, you really have some skills... You can even take down the captain of my father's Shadow Guard..."
Lu Qian also showed his ambition in front of the former concubine and was rough with his hands.
He said, "Don't you know whether I am capable or not?"
...
Nie Bing was a little puzzled outside.
I don’t know why Xi Fei learned how to bark like a dog?
Aren't you treating Xi Fei?
Why does Eunuch Lu keep yelling?
...
Lu Qian finished packing his clothes and went out, looking at Nie Bing at the door with some surprise.
Suddenly he asked with some embarrassment, "Captain Nie...why are you still here?"
"Because I still have a mission. Your Excellency asked me to invite you to Prince Cheng's Mansion. That's why I'm waiting here." Nie Bing replied.
"Sir? Duke Cheng is looking for me?"
Lu Qian then remembered what Concubine Xi had said just now.
But when she heard her talking about dad, she thought she was calling him, and didn't take it to heart at all.
Nie Bing nodded.
Lu Qian asked in confusion, "What does Duke Cheng Guo want from me?"
Nie Bing shook his head and said, "I don't know, but my lord asked me to invite you here."
Lu Qian nodded when he saw this, and he really wanted to come and thank him.
Moreover, I have long heard that Duke Cheng Guo is a strange person, so it would be a good idea to get to know him.
Lu Qian said and agreed.
He followed Nie Bing out of the palace gate and got into the carriage.
Seeing that Nie Bing seemed to have something to say, Lu Qian asked, "Captain Nie, do you have anything to ask..."
"Eunuch Lu only said there were two courses of treatment before. Do I need a third course of treatment?" After Nie Bing finished speaking, he thought of Concubine Xi's voice just now, and a blush rose on his face.
"Well...individual differences are different...it depends on the circumstances." Lu Qian answered ambiguously.
Although he also wanted to give her the third stage of treatment.
But if Nie Bing knows about the affair between men and women, he will definitely have to get involved in the third stage of treatment, and his life may not be saved by then.
Lu Qian decided immediately.
Next time you treat Xi Fei, let her watch.
If she has no reaction, you can start the third stage of treatment with her.
While talking, the carriage arrived at Prince Cheng's Mansion.
Prince Cheng's Mansion can be considered to be on the outskirts of Kyoto.
The entire mansion was built with great majesty.
Nie Bing put on the costume and mask of the shadow guard before getting out of the car.
He brought Lu Qian to the entrance of the palace and was led in by a housekeeper.
The mansion is very beautiful, quite in the style of Su's gardens.
This made Lu Qian couldn't help but become more and more curious about Duke Cheng.
After walking a few steps, I saw a very familiar person walking towards me.
"He Xun?" Lu Qian greeted him somewhat unexpectedly.
The best emperor master
